Play of the Day: The #Bengals just lined up OL Cody Ford as an outside WR — and Joe Burrow actually threw it to him for 21 yards.
Today is Ford's birthday.
My 71-year-old client sees his daughter maybe 6 times a year.
They live 50 minutes apart.
Not estranged. Not fighting.
Just... busy.
Holidays. Birthdays. The occasional Sunday dinner.
"We text every day," he told me. "We're really close."
I did the math in front of him.
He's 71. Statistically, he has maybe 12-15 years left.
Six visits a year.
That's 72-90 more times he'll see her in person.
He stared at the number.
"90 more times with my daughter?"
He went quiet for a minute.
"That's it? That's all that's left?"
Tim Urban from Wait But Why calculated something that stopped me cold:
By the time you leave home at 18, you've already spent 93% of your in-person time with your parents.
The remaining 7% gets spread thinly—just a few days per year—across the next several decades of their lives.
You think you have forever.
The math says different.
He called her that night.
Now she comes for coffee every Sunday.
"I've seen her 11 times in the last 3 months," he told me.
"More than all of last year."
He didn't need a financial plan.
He needed to see the number.
Sometimes the most important math has nothing to do with money.
Tennis commentator: "Nobody is supposed to play this well at 38. But Novak Djokovic isn't just anybody. He is the greatest of all time and is reminding us why."
The best point of 2025.
On January 23, I’ll be free soloing Taipei 101 in Taiwan. It’s been a long time goal of mine and it’ll be the most ambitious urban climb that I’ve attempted. It’s a nearly 1,700 ft tower! What’s not to like?! And I’ll be doing it LIVE on @netflix. Tune in Friday, January 23 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT
Yeah... weird how when her husband is martyred for a cause, she didn't just lie down and curl into a ball, but wanted to give it meaning and refused to let the motherfuckers who killed him to get their win.
The Cowboys officially have a 4000-yard passer, two 1000-yard receiver and a 1000-yard rusher and they are officially out of the playoffs with three games to go
Slept on It: Thoughts on OU’s 34-24 loss to Bama.
1. I didn’t sleep enough. Buckle up.
2. Our team is playoff cursed. Simple as that.
3. How else can you explain…
Examples: a QB has 2 choices, run for 15+ yards and an easy 1st down or a simple toss for a walk in TD…
A lot of you need to hear this:
Sometimes, you lose a football game because a couple 18-22 year old kids make a mistake, it happens. Not every loss means coaches need to be fired or the sky is falling.
That loss sucks, but what a season for this team.
Boomer forever.
Novak Djokovic: "I'm rebuilding my body so the start of next season will be great."
He's been building stamina and strength and is reportedly in much better physical shape than he was last season. 👀
The greatest ever is ready for a big year. 💪🏻
